First Aid Training In Cornwall
Our First Aid Training Courses in Cornwall are delivered at our Truro venue each month. The most popular first aid courses include the 16 Hours Outdoor First Aid and the Forest Schools First Aid courses (which can be run together) are delivered by Optimal First Aid’s Toby Osborne and his team who have been involved in delivering first aid training for over 15 years.
Run alongside these courses is the very popular Emergency First Aid at Work Course.
16 Hour Outdoor First Aid Course
The Outdoor First Aid course is an externally regulated qualification which meets the outdoor learning requirements set by the Institute for Outdoor Learning. This 16 Hour Outdoor First Aid course is recognised by Mountain Training, British Canoeing, RYA and many other national governing bodies as fulfilling the requirements for Outdoor First Aid. It is also perfect for Duke of Edinburgh Award staff and participants.
Forest School First Aid & Paediatraic Course
Forest Schools First Aid and Paediatric first aid for forest schools is a 2-day course. All our courses are a mix of practical sessions and casualty simulation exercises throughout that will embed the information required to work in the outdoor environment at all ages. The Paediatric First Aid qualification ensures that you have the appropriate adaptations to your first aid skills for use with children and satisfies the Early Years Foundation Stage practice guidance and statutory guidelines.
First Aid at Work
Based in Devon we can deliver workplace first aid courses across Cornwall to schools and businesses. The 1-day emergency first aid course and 3-day first aid courses meet all requirements set by Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Onsite first aid training options are available where we come to you and run the first aid training course, alternatively join us at our Truro venue for our open courses.
First Aid Training In Cornwall - why us?
Optimal First Aid is not the usual first aid training company, our courses are different, and realistic to the outdoor environment. We have attended courses ourselves and seen the disengaged learners who fail to retain information by “boring” first aid courses. We believe that courses should be more than a ‘tick in the box’ exercise and that learners should be built up through quality training programs that take a pragmatic approach, focusing on the practical aspects of training.
Our instructors have extensive real-life experience of remote and outdoor working environments. The rigorous standards of content, instruction and examination are ensured through the use of a professional regulating body.
We have many different individuals and organisations from across the Southwest who have attended our courses and have excelled in all assessments. We tailor our courses and involve the learners to share experiences and considerations they have.
Our First Aid training in Cornwall courses are run at Tomperrow Scout Campsite in Truro, but we can also deliver these first aid courses as group bookings at a venue of your choice. Please contact us for more information.

RuthWWMDT2024-04-23Toby and Erica provided excellent, practical training for a group of forestry operatives. Great that it was hands on and considered likely scenarios outdoors in a woodland setting. Well paced and energising training!

Karly Pearce2024-04-18Best first aid course, I've ever attended!! Toby gave us regular breaks during the day, to make sure we didn't lose focus or get bored. Toby is easy going, has a great sense of humour, which made it way more fun and digestible 👌🏾 Thanks Toby ☺️
izaak stanton2024-04-18Toby was super helpful and made the process as fun as possible, we all learnt a lot, even those who had completed training before learnt a lot more of useful information, would 100% recommend
U7 GYM2024-04-18We had Toby complete our Emergency First Aid at Work training for our staff, and we couldn't be happier with how the course went. From start to finish, Toby ensured that the course content was engaging and relatable to our own requirements in the gym industry. Toby was friendly, relaxed, and clearly had a lot of knowledge and experience. We will definitely be using Optimal First Aid Ltd for all of our first aid and further health and safety courses moving forwards. Thanks Toby!
ian stone2024-04-04Optimal First Aid and Toby provided exceptional service. Their content was top-notch, presented in a manner that seamlessly integrates First Aid into real-life situations. This approach made the course highly engaging, instilling confidence in myself and our colleagues to effectively administer first aid should the situation ever arise.
